TL-01 Help
 
Hi guys, i havent used my 4wd shaft driven electric tamiya TL-01 1/10th scale for some time, and i wanted to start getting into drifting just for a mess around for awhile untill i get a better car, do i have to do any modifications to the car to make it drift or do i just have to put ABS/PV w.e tyres on it?

here is a full spec on the car just in case

Get a cheap bearing set for it as well; just as a safeguard. Otherwise nothing more is needed. If you find it hard to get into a slide, remove the rear diff and pack it out with some blue tack. Start with a little; then build it up, you don't wanna go straight in and lock it up completely like a lot of people will tell you to do.
